Dedication 


In  appreciation  of  his  untiring  efforts  in  our 
behalf,  and  his  devotion  to  Sutton  High  School, 
we,  the  Class  of  1956,  dedicate  this  "Exitus"  to 
Mr.  Donald  G.  Schwab.

Foreword 

With  the  advent  of  graduation,  the  focal  point  from  which  our  future 
plans  and  ideals  spring,  comes  the  termination  of  six  memorable  years  at 
Sutton  High  School.  Ours  is  the  first  class  to  enjoy  the  benefits  of  both 
Junior  and  Senior  High  School  in  a  modern,  newly  equipped  school. 

May  we,  the  Class  of  '56,  having  received  guidance  from  our  parents, 
faculty,  and  lifelong  friends  made  throughout  our  school  years,  make  a  not- 
able impression  upon  this  great  world  of  ours.

Class  History 


In  September  1952,  forty-one  hopeful  Freshmen  entered  the  "Portals  of  Sutton  Hi- 
gh". Although  we  seemed  dwarfed  by  the  upperclassmen,  we  tried  in  our  years  at  Su- 
tton High  to  show  our  worth  and  importance. 

We  assembled  in  room  207  with  Mr.  Sabolinski  as  our  class  advisor  and  elected 
the  following  class  officers:  Elizabeth  Smith,  president;  Willard  Jernberg,  vice-pres- 
ident; Bernice  Brown,  secretary;  Ellen  Kallio,  treasurer.  We  chose  Frances  Stark  and 
Willard  Jernberg  as  Student  Council  representatives.  Navy  blue  and  white  were  select- 
ed as  our  class  colors. 

In  October  we  were  initiated  by  the  congenial  Sophomores. 

When  Mr.  Salinger  joined  the  faculty  in  January,  he  became  our  class  advisor. 

Members  of  the  class  participated  heartily  in  basketball,  cheering,  and  Glee  Club. 

In  March  we  sponsored  the  Sophomore  Return  Party  under  the  capable  and  unique 
direction  of  Mr.  Salinger. 

After  an  enjoyable  summer  we  reassembled  in  room  207  with  our  class  advisor, 
Mr.  Salinger.  The  membership  of  the  class  was  now  thirty-four.  We  elected  as  class 
officers:  Willard  Jernberg,  president;  Elizabeth  Smith,  vice-president;  Frances  Stark, 
secretary;  Marcia  Bullard,  treasurer.  As  our  Student  Council  representatives  we  elect- 
ed Ellen  Kallio  and  Herbert  Chase. 

Our  first  enjoyment  of  the  year  was  the  initiation  of  the  Freshmen. 

We  continued  to  take  an  active  part  in  school  activities. 

Later  that  year  we  presented  the  original  Carnival  Dance  under  the  direction  of  Mr. 
Salinger.    This  dance  enhanced  our  class  funds  greatly. 

We  returned  in  September  and  reconvened  in  room  207  under  the  supervision  of  a 
new  class  advisor,  Mr.  Murdock. 

We  elected  the  following  to  be  our  class  officers  for  our  Junior  year:  Willard  Jern- 
berg, president;  Elizabeth  Smith,  vice-president;  Frances  Stark,  secretary;  Marcia 
Bullard,  treasurer;  Patricia  Hunt  and  Heioert  Chase,  Student  Council  representatives. 

The  membership  of  the  class  had  now  dropped  to  twenty-seven. 

To  further  enhance  our  class  funds  for  our  Senior  year  we  presented  a  Comedy  Bas- 
ketball Game  in  November  and  a  Record  Hop  in  December. 

Ellen  Kallio  was  selected  to  attend  Girls'  State  in  Bridgewater  in  June.  Also,  Rob- 
ert Hare  received  the  D.A.R.  History  Award  at  the  graduation  exercises  of  the  class  of 
'55. 


In  September,  1955,  we  proceeded  on  the  last  leg  of  our  enriching  and  happy  jour- 
ney through  high  school. 

We  found  that  we  were  to  be  housed  in  room  206  with  our  new  class  advisor,  Mr. 
Schwab.  Without  further  procrastination  we  proceeded  to  elect  the  following  class  off- 
icers: Willard  Jernberg,  president;  Herbert  Chase  and  later  Roger  Thibodeau,  vice-pre- 
sident; Patricia  Hunt,  secretary;  Marcia  Bullard,  treasurer.  Elizabeth  Smith  and  Russ- 
ell St.  Jean  were  elected  Student  Council  representatives. 

Continuing  to  raise  money,  we  sponsored  the  Senior  Supper  under  the  experienced 
direction  of  Mr.  Schwab. 

The  next  major  event  of  the  year  was  our  Senior  Play,  "Cheaper  by  the  Dozen", 
presented  November  19th  under  the  patient  direction  of  Miss  Austin. 

On  February  1  1,  1956,  we  presented  the  annual  Valentine  Ball.  Marcia  Bullard  was 
chosen  queen. 

We  are  very  proud  to  be  the  first  class  to  terminate  six  years  at  Sutton  Memorial 
School. 

We  sincerely  hope  that  we  have  made  an  impression  on  the  "logs"  of  Sutton  High, 
for  we  are  sure  that  Sutton  High  has  made  a  wonderful  and  everlasting  impression  on  us.

Class  Prophecy 


Tne  invitation  reads,  "You  are  cordially  invited  to  attend  a  reunion  of  the  Class 
of  1956  of  Sutton  High  School,  to  be  held  June  14,  1970,  at  the  home  of  Sutton's  May- 
or, BILL  JERNBERG.  If  you  cannot  be  present,  please  let  us  know  what  you  are  current- 
ly engaged  in,  whether  or  not  you  are  married,  and  so  forth.    See  you  there?" 

You  bet!  The  evening  of  the  reunion  brings  with  it  an  air  of  excitement  and  expect- 
ancy. Will  we  recognize  our  friends  after  all  this  time?  Will  old  friendships  be  re- 
newed or  forsaken? 

The  celebration  is  off  to  a  good  start  with  a  wonderful  banquet  and  "Doc"  Schwab 
as  master  of  ceremonies.  As  the  night  progresses,  we  visit  with  our  classmates,  re- 
living old  experiences,  telling  of  new  ones.  "Doc"  is  in  his  usual  jovial  mood,  and, 
as  usual,  is  offering  famous  quotations  and  bits  of  advice. 

We  find  that  MARCIA  BULLARD  eloped  with  a  peroxide  manufacturer  after  a  few  yea- 
rs of  college,  and  is  currently  developing  a  new  line  of  products. 

Besides  keeping  Joe  happy,  DENISE  LAVERGNE  is  designing  gowns  for  SHIRLEY 
FITZGERALD'S  dress  shops,  which  are  appearing  all  over  New  England.    JOE  RZEWUSKI 
has  his  own  service  station,  and  is  a  competent  mechanic.    We  all  remember  the  ex- 
perience he  had  with  the  Plymouth. 

ROGER  THIBODEAU  and  ROBERT  RICHARDS  have  become  partners  in  a  radio-tele- 
vision business,  located  at  the  new  Sutton  Shoppers'  World. 

After  leaving  the  Air  Force,  HERBIE  CHASE  tells  us,  he  went  to  college  on  the  G.I. 
Bill,  to  become  a  geometry  teacher.    Herbie  always  did  have  an  interest  in  figures. 

Having  seen  DICK  BENTLEY  in  "Cheaper  by  the  Dozen,  "  a  couple  of  talent  scouts 
signed  him  up,  and  he  can  now  be  seen  playing  romantic  lead  roles  under  the  name  of 
Rusty  Cable. 

LIZ  SMITH'S  feet  have  carried  her  on  to  a  Master's  Degree  in  Education,  and  she 
is  now  Principal  of  the  Sutton  Elementary  Schools,  which  three  of  her  own  children  now 
attend. 

MILDRED  GERBER  is  now  supervisor  of -nurses  at  the  Sutton  Memorial  Hospital, 
JOYCE  LINDSTROM,  too,  is  a  nurse,  but  Joyce  specializes  in  private  cases.  She  also 
assists  her  husband  in  his  advertising  business. 

PATTI  HUNT  couldn't  leave  her  family  in  Florida,  but  sent  word  that  she  now  has 
four  boys  and  a  girl.  As  much  as  Patti  loved  being  an  air  hostess,  she  gave  it  up  for 
her  family.  BARB  EDWARDS  says  that  she's  still  working  for  Trans  World  Airlines,  al- 
though no  longer  as  a  hostess.    She,  too,  sacrificed  her  career  for  marriage. 

Look  who  just  scrubbed  in!  Professor  BOB  HARE  in  his  little  blue  Ford!  Bob  is  on 
the  faculty  at  W.  P.  I.,  and  his  favorite  extra-curricular  activity  is  an  objective  study 
of  the  modern  woman. 


JOEL  MOORE  is  spending  his  vacation  in  Sutton,  bringing  back  old  memories.  Joey- 
is  a  forestry  engineer  in  Wyoming.  ART  GODDING  has  decided  to  spend  the  rest  of  his 
life  in  the  west  as  a  metallurgical  engineer,  and  only  the  reunion  could  bring  him  back 
to  Sutton. 

Now  that  the  dear  old  town  has  grown,  TERRY  BOISSE  is  holding  down  her  nosition 
as  City  Clerk.  WADE  GORDON  is  a  certified  public  accountant,  and  is  very  happy  in 
his  position  and  his  new  home.  The  new  courthouse  and  city  hall  were  designed  and 
planned  by  a  nationally-known  architect,  RUSS  ST.  JEAN. 

ELAINE  BREHIO  sends  word  that  she  is  a  commissioned  officer  in  the  Womens'Air 
Force.  She  felt  more  indebted  to  Uncle  Sam  than  to  the  Class  of  '56,  and  preferred  to 
remain  at  her  post  rather  than  attend  the  reunion. 

As  for  myself,  "Sheila,  "  my  marriage  doesn't  prevent  me  from  working  part-time. 
Since  I'm  getting  too  old  for  the  stage,  my  spare  time  is  occupied  in  directing  the  Youth 
Center,  giving  other  kids  the  breaks  that  I  had.

Varsity 


Boys'  Sports 

The  1955-1956  basketball  season  opened  with  practice  in  early  November.  The 
varsity,  under  the  guidance  of  Coach  Donald  Sabolinski,  were  in  high  spirits,  having 
compiled  a  decent  record  in  the  previous  year.  Even  though  three  of  the  starting  five 
returned  from  last  year's  squad,  inexperience  plagued  the  team  all  year  long. 

At  Lhe  end  of  the  season  the  overall  record  was  nine  victories  and  eleven  defeats. 
This  year  Sutton  participated  in  the  Townsend  Invitational  Tournament,  winning  the  con- 
solation trophy.  The  "Flattops"  were  also  selected  to  play  in  the  Clark  University  To- 
urnament. 

Although  the  Sutton  cagers  had  only  a  mediocre  record,  the  season  was  filled  with 
many  exciting  and  thrilling  moments.  The  boys  would  like  to  thank  those  who  faithfully 
supported  the  team  in  its  up  and  down  season. 

Individual  scoring:  Chase-293,  St.  Jean-207,  Faubert-178,  Godbout-142,  Vayo- 
117,  Lamothe-83,  Anderson-14.

The  Varsity,  coached  by  Mrs.  Boutiette,  had  an  undefeated  season.  The  Junior 
Varsity,  coached  by  Miss  Austin,  was  not  as  fortunate. 

The  Varsity  forwards,  Alna  Werme,  Connie  Windle,  Ethel  Helgesen,  Tallea  Win- 
die,  and  Carol  Moore,  did  a  splendid  job.  The  guards,  Janice  Hunton,  Elizabeth  Sm- 
ith, Marcia  Putnam,  Barbara  Edwards,  and  Arleen  Monro,  also  deserve  a  large  share  of 
the  credit. 


Individual  scoring  is  as  follows:  Alna  Werme-182,  Connie  Windle-178,  Ethel  Hel- 
gesen-107,  Tallea  Windle-89,  and  Janice  Hunton-49.
